King Crab and Potato Salad

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
• 1 1/2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, cut into eighths
• 1 3/4 pounds cooked king crab legs, thawed if frozen (see Tip), meat removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 6 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add beans and cook until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon; refresh under cold water.

Add potatoes to the boiling water. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander; refresh under cold water until room temperature.

Toss the green beans and potatoes with crab, celery, radishes and onion in a large bowl.

Whisk garlic, lemon juice, vinegar and mustard in a small bowl; slowly whisk in oil. Whisk in basil, salt and pepper. Discard the garlic; pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

To defrost frozen lobster tails or crab legs, let thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
